This is the first book-length study to examine the predicaments and achievements of mid-Victorian war poets. Confronted with news of suffering soldiers during the Crimean War (1854–6), these ‘armchair poets’ engaged with the politics of war by composing lines of verse at home, reworking established traditions of war poetry.
